Pop It Ups Wednesday With Raquel – Seamless Backing Heart Pivot Card

April 26, 2017

Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today to share a technique from Karen Burniston called Seamless Backing. This technique is perfect for adding pattern paper to any pivot die. I love pivot cards because the front is also the inside when you open the card! Let me show you how I made this special Mother’s Day card. Remember that you can change the sentiment to suit your needs as the Heart Pivot is perfect for many occasions.

Use temporary (low tack) tape to hold the pattern paper cut in step 2 onto the front side of the card base. Place the Heart Pivot die on the inside of the card base making sure to that the alignment nubs are on the score line. Place card base in die cutting machine. Place cutting pad on top, stopping the pad at the pivot point of the die, then run it through your machine. Repeat for the other side.

Remove the temporary tape and the pattern paper from the card base. Use scissors to cut half of the heart off from the pattern paper – from pivot point to pivot point (see photo below).

Place card base back in die cutting machine and run it all the way through.
